Life-Saving Statistics

At MCPAWS, we believe that every animal counts. We track each animal that comes through our door following national guidelines, and by using a professional database. All of this information is also recorded each month in Shelter Animals Count, a national shelter database project.

MCPAWS is a no-kill animal shelter, which means we will never euthanize healthy, adoptable animals for space. When space becomes an issue, we work with a dedicated team of foster parents and other rescue organizations to transfer or house animals until they are adopted.
